Description
E. N. GOLDST! N E Dec. 29 1925- CARD CONTAINER Filed March 5 1925 Patented Dec. 29, 1925.
EDGAR NATHAN GOLDSTINE,
OF IwETILVl'AUZ-KEE, 'WISGUNSIN.
CARD CONTAINER.
Application filed March 3, 1925.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDGAR NATHAN GonnsTrNn, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Milwaukee, in the county of lt lilwaulree and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Card Containers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
This invention relates to card containers and is particularly directed to a card contamer adapted for attachment to the back of a camera or other article.
In cameras which are not provided with what is commonly known as the autographic attachment, it is ditficult to keep an accurate record of the pictures for each film.
This invention is designed to supply this long felt want in connection with ordinary types of cameras and, although capable of other uses, is primarily designed for holding a record card for a camera, and is designed to supply an attachment for a standard camera which may be carried in a folded condition thereon without occupying much space, and which will adapt the camera to the keeping of an accurate record of the pictures.
Further objects are to provide a card holder which may be opened out in a simple manner, and in which the cover may be locked temporarily in open position.
Further ObJGCtS are to provlde a card holder in which extremely simple means are provided for retaining the card in a secure manner, and in which the temporary holding means for the cover is also employed as a holding means for the card and is so constructed that it may be easily swung into locking position for the card without danger of catching and tearing the edge of the card.
An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in whichz- Figure 1 is a view of the device showing it in open position.
Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional view corresponding to a section on the line 22 of Figure 1 showing the device in closed position.
Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure e is an enlarged sectional view on the line H of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a view to a reduced scale Serial No. 12,878.
showing the device attached to the back ot a camera.
Referring to the drawings, it will be seen I that the device consists essentially of two stamped sheet metal members. The bottom member 1 is oi rectangular contour and is preferably slightly larger than the top member or cover 2. Each of the members is provided with ears 3 which are formed from tongues integral with the respective members and are joined by .a suitable pintle pin 4. Preferably, a very small helical spring surrounds the pintle pin and urges the top towards closed position. The top, as will be noted from Figures 1 and 2, is provided with a marginal flange 6 which extends around three of its sides.
The bottom is provided with a pair of outwardly struck ribs 7 and 8 which parallel the vertical margins and are spaced inwardly a slight distance. These ribs, as shown in Figure 2, are preferably provided with abrupt inner faces against which the inserted card 9 is adapted to contact. A third rib 10 extends across the top of the device and joins the ribs 7 and 8. It is to be noted that triangular webs 11 are upstruck from the body of the bottom portion 1. These webs are flush with the outer surface of the ribs 7, 8 and 10, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, and are most easily produced by slitting the body portion 1, as indicated in Figure 3 and pressing the webs 11 upwardly.
The body portion is further proyided with a pair of outwardly pressed relatively short transverse ribs 12 and 13 which may, if desired, be positioned adjacent a vertical center line, and are preferably of short length. These ribs 12 and 13 are for the purpose of retaining the card against downward motion and are adapted to fit into corresponding slots in the card 9, as shown 1n Figures 1 and 4.
A locking bar 1-1 is pivotally attached to the body portion 1 by means of a pin 15 which passes through an elongated slot formed in the locking bar. This bar is socured to a slightly flattened and lowered portion 8 of the rib 8, as shown in Figure 1, and is provided at its outer end with an upturned lip 16 which normally rests against and slightly upon the lowermost short rib 13. This upturned lip of the bar 1% also prevents catching of the edge of the bar against the card 9 when the bar is swung upwardly over the card into the position shown in Figure 1. During insertion of the card, the bar is swung downwardly to permit the free positioning of the card upon the bottom 1. The card is secured adj acent its top by inserting its upper corners beneath the webs 11 through the slits. It is pressed down into position between the marginal ribs 7 and 8 with the short ribs 12 and 13 positioned in the apertures in the card. Thereafter, the arm 14: is swung into position. The bar 14 is also adapted to hold the cover 2 in open position, as shown in Figure 1. This is readily accomplished due to the slot and pin construction which permits longitudinal sliding of the bar outwardly into the position shown in Figure 1, and over the extended cover 2, thus temporarily locking the cover against the action of he spring 5 and holding such cover in open position and permitting free and unhindered use of the card 9.
The device is formed from sheet metal in a very simple and cheap manner and is very thin as is obvious from an inspection of the drawing, and consequently does not occupy much room. It is adapted for attachment to the back of a camera 17, as shown in Figure 5, or upon other devices where a record card is desired. It is, however, primarily designed for a camera which is not equipped with the special window for autographic purposes and is thus designed to adapt the camera to a record bearing instrument in addition to its usual function.
It will be seen that a card holder has been provided which is of extremely simple and strong construction, which may be cheaply manufactured from sheet metal, and which is very thin and does not take up a material amount of room.
t is intended that the terms base, cover or top shall be understood as merely illustrative and not as limiting terms. They are employed in this case to avoid needless verbosity.

3. A card container comprising a rectangular base having upstruck vertical ribs paralleling its side edges, and having an ups-truck transverse rib paralleling its upper edge, webs joining the ends of said vertical ribs with said top rib adjacent the upper corners and adapted to form pockets for the reception oi"- the upper corners of a card, projections carried by said base for preventing downward motion or". a card, a clip adapted to be moved over the lower end of the card to prevent outward motion thereof, a cover hingedly mounted upon said base and spring urged to closed position, said cover having a marginal flange adapted to be positioned outside of the top and vertical ribs upon said base.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Visconsin.
